Second Life, WW2 Online and Toontown online seem like they may not really be RPGs but just MMOs.

Description
All MMORPG (Role-Playing Games) developed for the PC (Windows) platform. Due to the massive size of RPG titles available for the PC, I've broken them up into three distinct categories; Epic RPG, Action RPG, and Massive Multiplayer Online RPG (MMORPG). Though some hybrid titles and recent FPS-style RPGs really blur up these RPG genres, the best way to distinguish them is this way: Epic RPG: Massive worlds, long gameplay (50+ hrs is typical), very detailed levelling up & characters stats, more open-ended gameplay, slower-paced but detailed quests. (Oblivion, Baldur's Gate) Action RPG: Hack'n'slash gameplay, more linear storyline, usually automated levelling up and less dialog with NPC characters, which gives it more action feel to the game. (Diablo, Dungeon Siege) MMORPG: Any RPG played online in a massive universe populated by peer gamers. (World of Warcraft, EverQuest) This list is sorted by Listal popularity, but unreleased titles are at the end of the list until launch date. I think I've got most of them, but if missed one, please let me know via comments below. MASTER RPG LIST: RPG World
